Presentation

Abstract A diverse range of infectious diseases has presented with acute renal failure (ARF) in the West of Scotland in the past five years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case reports are presented of 5 cases of acute infectious lymphocytosis in siblings, ages 2¼-10 years. Symptoms included diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, fever and cough. There was an absolute lymphocytosis lasting about three weeks. [bloodjournal.org]
